@lamarasamuel ... +1.. Agreed. .. To the power of 10. .. Truly a generous "LED" post. .. Thank You.

+1.. As a C124 E-320 owner ... this LED enhancement post is "Off the hook". Many thanks!

Irony. I Now own the w201 with bad led headlights and here I am watching a video cause I don’t want to blind people anymore. And, I see my car!

Man, your 201 looks exactly like mine even the interior!!!! Sweet!!!!

thanks for this! appreciate all the content you post. super informative

Great rundown, thankyou. I didn't know the new style bulbs were now available. I've always stayed away form the LED swap because as you say, they just spray light everywhere. I have a W124 1987 300e Hong Kong delivery but now in Australia with bulb out display. Ill see what I can do.

Great LED info! Thanks!!

What years are the later cars ?

Thanks this helps a lot!

Which rim size and tire size is the 190 fited with?

Will the warning still come out if the headlight bulb disconnected?

This video is amazing...

Answered the call. Cheers :)

Wow great details

Is there a kit for LED's for all interior lights for 95 sedan available? Thanks

Great info.Can this be done on R129 Models,1990 2002?How about interior lights for the 129 model?Thanks.

I have the 1987 300d w124 All my bulbs are standard bulbs except for head lights and dash lights and all my bulbs work but my bulb light out stays lit. Any ideas on what the problem could be.

Hello, my W124 is from 1995, will LEDs work on that? 🙏🏽

The lights that I showed in the video doesn’t trigger that light. The turn signals are not LED and the rear brake lights are not LED. Those will make it turn on. The relay I showed will not fix the orange light, just the hyper flash on the turn signals.

I haven’t made a video yet but I do know it is not easy to find bulbs because there’s is little clearance inside the w124 cluster. You would need to find the same style bulb with the same or less dimensions.

Unfortunately they don’t make the kit with warm white leds. They will be 6000k. I updated the description to include this link. I have links posted to the individual warm white leds for the cabriolet, some of them like the door lights may work on sedan check and verify.

Thank you for this video. Just to clarify - the Auxito LED bulb has the built-in resistor, isn't it? (The Bulb Out in your W124 did not light up when you turned the headlights and high beams on). My W124 is an European model (250D from 1987) and it has the Bulb Out indicator on the cluster. How long do the Auxito bulbs last? As my car does not have daytime running lights, I am turning on the headlights at all moments (currently using Philips X-Treme Vision halogens, which have proven to be very long lasting). One more question: How do LEDs behave in snow/winter? As they are cooler than halogens, I've read that ice could form in front of the headlights. Have you ever experienced this with your vehicle? Because I run the headlights on at all moments, these LEDs would definitely be an asset to consume less battery power. Hopefully they will last under strong heatwaves (+40 C / 104 F)

@SoCal210

There isn’t a resistor in these bulbs, it uses enough power to prevent the bulb out indicator from going off. They run much cooler than a halogen bulb so it’s likely that ice can form. I have no experience with this since it never gets colder than 60F where I live. I have been using these since I posted this video and have no issues and have been using it even longer on my family members cars without issue.

I replaced the headlights with the Auxito LEDs. I can't thank you enough for this video and your comprehensive recommendations. My W124 has now way better highway illumination. It is a massive difference between the Philips X-Treme halogens with about 2100 LM to the Auxito with 20,000 LM. Yet indeed, as your video explains, they don't blind other drivers. My family and I commute between two cities (200 Km each way) at least once a month, returning home at night most of the time, so this LED improvement is crucial. Interestingly, my son can hear the LED bulbs fans running at quiet volume from outside the car. But sadly, in my case after installing the Auxito bulbs the bulb out indicator went off, at both regular and high beams. I decided that it doesn't matter and will remove the bulb of the indicator in the cluster at a later time (it will require me to pull out the cluster) so that I can replace all the exterior lights to LEDs, and just keep an eye on them if they fail from outside the car. I will take safety over convenience. On Friday I will install the Phinlion BA9's as per your indication for "City lights", replacing the tiny bulbs located inside of the headlights ("parking lights"). Not hoping too much on this, but if they could be used as daytime running lights it could be a big blessing... they are 400 LM output each so I will see. Do you use the red Katur 1156 red LEDs for both taillights and brake lights? If so I'll order 4 of them. I think halogen-wise the bulbs are the same...

@SoCal210

10 ай бұрын

@drkam6 I only used them on the taillights not the brake lights. Only my 3rd brake light is LED. The 3rd brake lights as LEDs were fine initially but eventually ended up causing a bulb out indicator. If you remove the indicator then it is not an issue. Auxito also makes excellent red LED bulbs now. You would need 1156 and 1157 bulbs. The 1156 for the running lights and the 1157 for the dual filament brake lights.

The Phinlion BA9 bulbs arrived, and installed them this afternoon. They are a massive difference compared to the meager 6W little bulbs. I parked the car on a street leaving the Phinlion's on, then walked away to see how visible they are from a distance. The bulbs are definitely decent to be used as daytime running lights under cloudy sky/shady conditions. In bright sun I'd turn on the regular Auxito headlamps. But indeed, it is amazing the amount of light the Phinlion's emit. This is another big improvement in my car and it finally has some conditional daytime running lights!

Hi, just want to know will it cause overheat issue as if look at the construction of the LED light, it is made of aluminium to better dissipate the heat and will it melts the light socket and harness?

Is there no canbus detector on the rear running lamps? Is that why you don’t have to worry about the resistor burning out? Or is it because they’re not as bright as the third brake lamps?

hi there, i just changed my headlight bulbs to led recently, and the left light doesnt have that cut off pattern, kind of just straight cut off instead of the hockey puck pattern (the right light seems normal, my car is RHD) could it be the flutted glass or the reflector thats not normal or even the bulb not installed correctly on the left one. thanks.

All US cars are wired from factory to light up like that. The euro cars have that particular wire for the city light in the headlight.

Do you know if its possible to get LED Lights that aren't white, and instead near perfectly mimic the halogens in terms of color tempature? I've found I like the much more warm white of all the stock lights so much more than the LED's, but all the LED Bulbs out there seem to be extremely white. I know warm white LED's exist, but I can't seem to find anything on amazon at least.

Жыл бұрын

No. I think they don’t fit the styling of the w124. The only way I would imagine doing it is mourning a projecter into the original housing kind of like the late production r129s. Although I don’t think it’s worth the effort because the auxito h4 leds in the original housings have a nice sharp cutoff and illuminate the road extremely well. Not a whole lot to be gained getting projectors IMO.

@@SoCal210 I thought it is illegal to install LED or HID in non-projector housing. But the original housing lens does have the lens that can cutoff light, however my housing reflective silver is corroded. I am thinking about getting a LED with built-in mini projector. They cost about 60 dollars on Amazon. Not sure how it will work with the lens cover.

@SoCal210

Жыл бұрын

The LEDs like the auxito brand copy the beam pattern of the halogens and are able to reflect light correctly in the reflector housing. A projector style bulb wouldn’t be able to do this and scatter light which can make it look blinding. People will say that LEDs are illegal which they can be in certain areas however they shouldn’t be if the beam pattern is the same as the halogen.
